Kristen Stewart Says Hollywood Has ‘Chosen Four’ Female Filmmakers to Promote: It’s ‘Phony’

1. Says the chick being peddled everywhere right now by Hollywood.

2. Is she the one in the vampire movie?

3. I don’t think Robbie needs any help.

4. Context from the Porter article/interview for the title quote:

   >“[There’s a] thinking that we can check these little boxes, and then do away with the patriarchy, and how we’re all made of it,” she considers. “It’s easy for them to be like, ‘Look what we’re doing. We’re making Maggie Gyllenhaal’s movie! We’re making Margot Robbie’s movie!’ And you’re like, OK, cool. You’ve chosen four… And I’m in awe of those women, I love those women [but] it feels phony. If we’re congratulating each other for broadening perspective, when we haven’t really done enough, then we stop broadening.”

5. She is probably putting people off, who would otherwise go and see the film.

   And those women that she mentioned, busted their asses of to get to the position they are. Whether she realizes or not, making a claim they were pushed is stupid. It promotes the idea they didn’t do it based on merit.

   If the goal is to get her films made, and get asses in seats, and maybe start conversations, she should consult with a PR team. Because it does appear she is slowly walking to the road of PR disasters. At the end of the day, you want people talking about the film, not what Kirsten Stewart said in an inteview.

6. I mean, isn’t Hollywood “phony” inherently?

7. What end goal are we aiming for? People are always going to complain or feel unheard. I work in the industry and I feel like people don’t see how Hollywood is falling over themselves to include female writers and directors. In the end, Hollywood follows the money, and DEI made money for a bit as a stunt, now it’s sustaining in culture and like a real industry that isn’t make-believe, it’s back to “if your thing made money, you get more chances” for everyone who isn’t completely proven, and some who are.

   There are always going to be people who complain, even if the numbers are as balanced as humanly possible. Make a great spec film with available tech, and you’ll get chances. If you’re that good, and your film is on Vimeo, you WILL be found. There’s MORE of an opportunity to be noticed if you’re a female filmmaker or a filmmaker of color. The industry is searching vigorously. If you’re upset about not being found or getting jobs, it isn’t because of your vagina or melanin count, it’s because your film wasn’t good enough in a crowded bloated market of makers.

   All of this is just sound bites for internet commentary for people to project their own anger of being passed over for something in their lives. This is all bullshit in actuality in the industry.

8. Like katt Williams said in the interview with Shannon sharpe they chose who they f*ck with 

9. She doesn’t really act. She stands in front of the camera and mumbles some stuff. Still, she seems pretty cool. She’s kind of like a female Keanu Reeves.

10. She’s just mad cause she’s a bad actress and no one wants to finance her🤷🏽

11. Sorry, busy moving the goalposts, whats up?

12. She’s 100% right
